Carousel
Performances Begin: February 28, 2018 at the Imperial Theatre
Why You Should Be Excited AF: Tony-winning director Jack O’Brien and the king of the Tony-winning revival, Scott Rudin, team up to present a new Carousel. This multicultural revival stars Joshua Henry as Billy Bigelow, Jessie Mueller as Julie Jordan, Lindsay Mendez as Carrie Pipperidge, and John Douglas Thompson as the Starkeeper. Hearing Henry sing “Soliloquy” will be worth the price of admission alone, but fans also want to see how O'Brien and company navigate this tricky material.
Performances Begin: December 5, 2017 at the Belasco Theatre
Why You Should Be Excited AF: Oscar and Tony winner Mark Rylance returns to Broadway this season in the new play about a king with insomnia and the castrato who sings him to sleep. You want to be at the Belasco because Rylance nearly always wins a Tony Award every time he’s on Broadway (he’s three for four!), so you don’t want to miss what could be this year’s Best Actor performance.
Performances Begin: November 6, 2017 at the Palace Theatre
